She edits nonfiction books by day as the owner of Sunshine Editorial Services & Book Coaching and writes and performs poetry by night. She is the author of Bone & Stars: A Constellation of Poems of Healing and Recovery from Narcissistic Abuse, in which she writes on the themes of trauma recovery, reclamation of self, and the unflinching embrace of powerful emotions. Erin is also the author of The Torch of Brighid: Flametending for Transformation, and her writing has been featured in two anthologies by Goddess Ink: Brigit: Sun of Womanhood, and Stepping into Ourselves: An Anthology of Priestesses, and in an anthology by Moon Books titled Paganism 101: An Introduction to Paganism by 101 Pagans. She served as the Poetry Managing Editor for the Spring 2021 edition of VoiceCatcher, an online women’s literary journal featuring short stories, poetry, and art by women of the Pacific Northwest.
